After months of keeping their doors shut amid the coronavirus pandemic, popular kid's restaurant Chuck E. Cheese may not ever reopen.

The brand behind the food-and-games establishment, CEC Entertainment, is nearly $1 billion in debt and is trying to approach lenders for a $200 million loan to keep the business afloat, according to the Wall Steet Journal.


Looks like the pizza mouse is in some trouble. Hard to make payments on a 1 billion debt load when you have no revenue. I also wonder what their future might look like... are parents going to be wanting to take their kids to places like this

I have 2 young boys who have begged me for awhile to take them to a CC and I never did. Now I actually feel bad about it.

We went two years ago for a kids birthday and it was pretty blah. Not surprised.

I think the pre-existing germs in Chuck E. Cheese would kill off the coronavirus

Went to the one in BR on Siegen a few years ago with my nephew. Looked like a hoodrat daycare. The parent were so ratchet. Just awful.

This could just as easily be an article about the harm that private equity firms do to business concerns by taking on massive debt, paying cash to the principals, and letting the business wither on the vine until they file for bankruptcy to stiff the creditors. Of course Covid didn't help, but this same playbook has brought down a lot of successful and popular brands.
